Chapter 677: The Tree Nymph's Invitation
【The Qingyue Qilin, a sixth-grade beast, contains a trace of the ancient bloodline of the mythical Qilin. It possesses immense strength, and as it grows, it will gradually master the innate divine abilities of the Qilin clan.】
【Due to an accident during the mother beast's pregnancy, the essence of life was condensed to seal the embryo, isolating it from the outside world and causing it to fall into a dormant state. A large amount of vibrant and powerful treasures are needed to inject into the embryo to awaken its vitality and consciousness.】
"It's not a stillbirth after all. It has merely fallen into a tortoise-breathing-like state to maintain its vitality and needs a large number of vibrant treasures to awaken it."
Lu Chen was delighted, but he maintained a calm expression.
"I never expected to come across this sixth-grade beast embryo instead of finding any spirit herbs this time."
Once again, he witnessed the power of the special ability to know the detailed status of spirit herbs and spirit beasts.
"There's definitely a huge difference between a living and a dead sixth-grade exotic beast. If I wanted to exchange the fifth-grade Kundi Puppet for a living sixth-grade cub, people would probably laugh at me."
"As long as I can awaken it and nurture it to maturity, it will be a great help. I'll have gained a lot more than I've invested."
"Not to mention the abundant orb rewards I'll receive later. That would be a huge profit."
"As for the large number of vibrant treasures, I have the Qing Wood Source Qi in my body, and I still have a large number of Nalingsuo Pearls. The orb rewards are already an unexpected gain. If I consider them as capital, it's almost like getting something for nothing."
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Chen had no other choice.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, the embryo is still viable and can be used to raise spirit beasts. I'll trade with you now."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu."
A smile appeared on Wang Suihai's face. This embryo had never hatched for many years, and he had long since given up hope. However, he felt it was a waste to use it only for raising spirit beasts, so he was more than satisfied to exchange it for Lu Chen's special fifth-grade puppet.
After the meeting, several Core Formation cultivators left one after another, most of them staying in the cave mansion to exchange insights on cultivation, artifact refining, and pill refining.
During this time, a few cultivators even sparred in sword techniques and magical techniques. Lu Chen quietly stayed in the corner, politely refusing any invitations to join.
He only spoke up when the topics of spirit herbs, spirit beasts, and pill refining were discussed, further cementing his reputation as a specialist in spirit herbs with a secondary focus on pill refining.
After the exchange session, he toured some of the safe areas of the Qingyu Planet Cave under the accompaniment of Yulin Sanren, witnessing various strange and wonderful sights.
On this day, he bid farewell to Yulin Sanren, intending to return to his cave mansion.
"Thank you for your hospitality these past few days, Fellow Daoist. I, Lu, have gained a broader perspective, and I also obtained the spirit herb I desired at the gathering. The next time you visit the Leihuo Planet Cave, please come to my cave mansion, and I will offer you the spirit fruits and spirit tea cultivated and brewed by my own hands."
Standing on a leaf several zhang wide on the towering giant tree, Lu Chen smiled and spoke to Yulin Sanren.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is too kind. I haven't even properly thanked you for lending me your cave mansion to recuperate and take refuge in after we encountered the beast attack in the Thunder Sea."
"I learned a lot of spirit herb knowledge from you during this gathering, and I am deeply grateful."
"As we part ways, I don't have anything else to offer, but here is some unique spirit soil from the Qingyu Planet Cave. It's a fourth-grade item called Yuanqing Soil, containing a unique vitality suitable for cultivating most spirit herbs. I hope you won't dislike it."
Yulin Sanren handed Lu Chen an open jade box filled with a pile of pale green spirit soil, with spirit lights flickering, giving off a fresh and natural feeling.
Yulin Sanren pushed the jade box containing the gift towards Lu Xuan, feigning anger.
"In that case, I won't be polite. Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your generous gift," Lu Xuan replied, seeing that his refusals would be futile.
As soon as he left Yulin Sanren's cave abode, he released his Void Nightmare Eyes, ensuring that there were no abnormalities nearby. Then, a faint green light emerged from his body as he dove directly into the boundless forest.
Back when he was at Tianjian Sect, Lu Xuan had chosen to primarily cultivate the Great Five Elements Art, which included the Five Elements Escape Technique, to ensure he had a reliable means of escape.
Although he hadn't had many opportunities to use the Wood Escape Technique, his diligent cultivation over the years, coupled with the Clear Serenity Lapis Tea that enhanced his comprehension abilities, had resulted in some modest achievements.
When he had come to the Azurewood Star Cave with Xuanyuan Zhe, he had felt uneasy about returning alone. After all, their relationship wasn't particularly deep, and the other cultivators present knew about the exotic sixth-grade spirit herb he had obtained—the Yanshi Skin. There was a chance that someone might harbor ill intentions and try to take it from him on the way back.
Out of caution, he had deliberately lingered at Yulin Sanren's cave abode for a few days before departing, and now he immediately used the Wood Escape Technique to enter the boundless forest.
"This trip to the Azurewood Star Cave has been quite fruitful. I obtained the sixth-grade exotic spirit herb, Yanshi Skin, and also came across the dormant embryo of a sixth-grade Moonfall Qilin," Lu Xuan thought to himself as he nimbly navigated through the giant tree, reflecting on his gains.
Just then, he noticed several strands of spiritual light hovering around him, persistently following him even as he increased his speed.
"So, it's those little tree nymphs," Lu Xuan realized, his eyes narrowing slightly as he activated his Pupil of Breaking Illusions, easily discerning the origin of the spiritual lights.
Although he didn't know why they were trailing him, Lu Xuan, as a Spirit Herbalist, felt a natural affinity for these grass and wood spirits. He stopped in his tracks and quietly observed the direction from which the tree nymphs were approaching.
Amidst giggles, several tiny tree nymphs, only two to three feet tall, emerged. Their exquisite and alluring faces were fixed on Lu Xuan.
A smile tugged at Lu Xuan's lips as he channeled the Qing Wood Source Qi, causing tendrils of faint green energy to gather at his fingertips.
The moment the tree nymphs laid eyes on the Qing Wood Source Qi, their eyes lit up, and they shrank in size, flying without hesitation to Lu Xuan's fingertips to absorb the nourishing energy.
After they had their fill, the tree nymphs snuggled close to Lu Xuan's body, chirping in clear and pleasant voices.
Lu Xuan focused his mind on them and instantly understood what they were saying.
"Are you inviting me to your nest as a guest?" he asked softly, addressing the largest tree nymph among them.
The little green sprite eagerly nodded in response to Lu Xuan's question.
Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. He felt quite at ease with these tree nymphs, who were merely harmless little spirits with gentle dispositions and not particularly strong.
Moreover, after feeding them the Qing Wood Source Qi, he could sense their genuine affinity for him, so he didn't worry about them causing him any harm.
"Lead the way, then," he said with a smile, gesturing to the foremost tree nymph.
